Abstract

Neck pain is a significant contributor to worldwide disability and poses a considerable financial burden to its stakeholders. The prognosis for chronic neck pain is generally poor, and the associated disability seems to be more persistent than low back pain. It has been suggested that the goals of a rehabilitation program are to maximize return to function, limit progression of degenerative changes, and prevent further injury. The variety of treatment options can make it difficult for clinicians to agree on the most effective treatment intervention. This article reviews noninvasive treatment considerations for patients with neck pain. Exercise-based interventions, including aerobic conditioning, stretching, and strengthening, are addressed. Moreover, concepts related to education are covered, including the effects of posture and ergonomic counseling. © 2010, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
